The Supporting Cast Cannot Shoot Worse Than They Did
The Bulls need at least one role player to contribute alongside Rose, Butler, and Gasol for the Bulls to comfortably win their games. In Game 4, Rose and Butler were the only Bulls to score in double figures.
Joakim Noah, Mike Dunleavy, Taj Gibson, Nikola Mirotic, and Tony Snell all combined for 28 points on a brutal 11-for-42 shooting performance. Dunleavy, Mirotic, and Snell combined for 3-10 from beyond the arc.
These five guys can be a solid lineup on many teams, so for them to collectively have such bad games is surprising. This is unlikely to happen again and with Gasol returning, it’ll open things up again for the rest of the Bulls.
